HeadingCS3The CS3 is a traditional “A-frame” greenhouse and a

great choice for schools: it has a tall sidewall for getting

the heat off students, teachers, and plants; it is an

attractive addition to a high school or university campus;

and it can meet the building codes required by schools.

The CS3 is perfect as a long-term solution; it is covered

in 15- to 20-year polycarbonate and requires very little

maintenance, so teachers can concentrate on teaching

and not up-keep.

CS3 greenhouses were designed to provide maximum

flexibility, offering multiple ventilation options while

maintaining common truss and column spacing. Trusses

are designed to withstand snow and wind loads in the

harshest environments.

MADE IN THE USAStuppy greenhouses are engineered and

manufactured right here in the USA.

HeadingCoverings & Shade Systems

Acrylic is a great choice that doesn’t yellow

and is more durable than glass. It comes with a

robust aluminum glazing system, and it is backed

up by 10-year warranties for yellowing and hail.

COVERINGS

Corrugated & 8mm Twinwall PolycarbonatePolycarbonate is a cost effective, long lasting and durable covering for

greenhouses. Both corrugated and 8mm twinwall options use the Stuppy aluminum

extrusion system to attach to the structure. In areas that require little to no heat,

we recommend corrugated polycarbonate which is designed to lap over the next

panel. The 8mm twinwall has about twice as much heat

retention than corrugated polycarbonate, and it uses

our double cap and single cap for joining panels and

trim. Both styles are available in clear, opal (white), or

diffused. Protected by a 15-year warranty for yellowing

and a 5-year warranty for hail. Life expectancy 20+ years.

Multi-Wall AcrylicOffered in UV absorbing or UV transmitting material for

a wide variety of high light growing environments, 16mm

multi-wall acrylic is a long-lasting, high-light covering. Light transmission is

up to 91% PAR full spectrum. Life expectancy 20+ years.

Pro Panel-Corrugated MetalCorrugated metal is offered in many colors and used on head houses

and teaching spaces, and on the roof, sidewalls and endwalls of a

greenhouse structure.

Coverings & Shade Systems

SHADE SYSTEMS

Interior Shade SystemsAn interior automated shade/energy curtain system is available with our CS3 model greenhouse frame, providing many

benefits for schools. This is a motorized system with controls that operate the shade curtain based on light level or temperature.

Most systems follow the roof line and are provided as a slope-flat-slope configuration to allow for extra clearance. The shade/

energy curtain reduces energy consumption by up to 30% to 40%, depending on cloth type, by closing at night to conserve

energy and reduce heat loss. The system controls light levels with shade fabrics that range from 15% to 70%.

Exterior Shade ClothOver the roof coverings provide an alternative,

with either a black or a heat-reflecting white

or aluminum shade cloth. The over the roof is

available in black (woven or knitted) with tape

and grommets sized for the greenhouse roof.

The shade cloth must be manually installed when

needed, which can prove challenging for teachers

and students.

Exhaust Fans & Inlet ShuttersAluminum exhaust fans offer the added benefit of greater longevity. Fans include a belt tensioner to maintain belt tightness

and both inlet and outlet guards. Fans are available in 1- and 2-speed versions. We typically have a smaller upper gable

exhaust fan for low-volume winter ventilation. Life expectancy is 30+ years.

Personnel DoorsADA handicap approved for the educational market, there are

several door options. Steel insulated, single doors are 42" and

double doors are two – each 42" x 6'8". We include a lever

lockset, which includes a heavy-duty door closer (Taco) to

prevent door slam for safety, and 22" x 22" VueLite single

pane tempered glass window. Custom locksets to match school

locksets can be furnished at an extra cost.

Growing SystemsHydroponicsHydroponic growing is a reliable, technology-driven method that increases efficiency while reducing crop disease

and pesticide use. This method typically means faster production, reduces labor and energy, and is perfect for a

smaller greenhouse classroom. If you are looking to create the ideal nutrient environment where students can work

together to elevate crop quality and meet higher quantity standards, consider one of our stand-alone Hydroponic

Systems including Nutrient Film Technique (NFT), Bucket, and Ebb & Flood based designs, which obtain their nutrients

from soluble fertilizer compounds.

Ebb & Flood Systems

With plants immersed directly in the nutrient solution, this system is a simple and effective means of greenhouse growing.

Stuppy’s Ebb & Flood systems include Lifetime Technical Support, are shipped with a 75-gallon reservoir and contain all

necessary plumbing and parts to get your students growing. The EF-16 and EF-32 may be used for growing potted plants,

as a media bed, to support seedling production or any other common use of Ebb & Flood systems.

Bato Bucket Systems

The Bato Bucket System is the ideal system for growing vine type crops, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and

many others. This system is provided with a central reservoir and circulation pump. Each bucket has its own reservoir to

provide watering between irrigation intervals. Nutrients, pH and EC can be automated with an Autogrow® dosing system.
